Returning to his own yard, Qiu Yilan unfolded the paper ball and took a glance at it, revealing that it was indeed the case: "What happened this time was a double act between Qiu Hongzhi and Qiu Yinzhi—it was probably guided by Princess Yang behind it."
"Why are they so shameless!" Su He's face turned red with anger, "The Queen just praised the princess, and the Sixth Princess and the Seventh Young Master just came over to spoil the fun! The princess kindly pointed out that they were being taken advantage of, they He actually turned around and joined forces with the eldest son to deal with the princess! "
Qiu Yilan smiled and touched her little head: "They are shameless not just once or twice, but you haven't gotten used to it yet?"
"What should we do now?" Su He retorted unintentionally and his face fell, "Since the eldest son and the seventh son have colluded to confess, the servants will definitely follow their advice. Especially those servants we just beat..."
"Then let's beat him again!" Qiu Yilan ordered slowly, "I remember that among the things the Queen gave me, there was a glass hairpin? Bring it to me."
Chunran hurriedly went to get it, Qiu Yilan took it, took a casual look, and stuffed it into his sleeve: "Okay, you go tell the elder brother to search the house!"
"Ah?" Chun Ran and others were startled.
"Especially those servants who have just been punished by the rules!" Qiu Yilan raised her hand and brushed her hair, and said casually, "Let's just say that after Qiu Jinzhu and her brother and sister came here with their people, the gift from the Queen was not enough!"
... Qiu Hongzhi strode into his cousin's yard with a gloomy face. He saw Qiu Yilan sitting on the swing under the pear tree with a leisurely look, looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile. Somehow, a burst of anger rushed straight to him. Come up!
He shouted sharply: "Why are you crazy! Sixth sister and seventh brother came here after the palace people left. You had already put away the things by that time! The missing things are of course the fault of the people around you. You But you want to search the house? Don’t you know that your uncle and aunt are not in good health now?”
Qiu Yilan said lazily: "Brother, why are you so fierce? Is there no evidence why I asked for a house search? Basically, the sixth sister and the seventh brother didn't come to me, but they came after the empress praised me. I was very suspicious! When the sixth sister came, she spoke rudely to me! Now that I think about it, even though she doesn’t respect me as a cousin, she doesn’t scold me first.”
At this point, the corner of her mouth curled up, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! Now I know why she did this. It was just to distract our attention so that she could quietly take away the things... "
Qiu Hongzhi interrupted her with a livid face: "Why do you say it was Sixth Sister and Seventh Brother who took it? And not the people in front of you? Have you searched them!"
"There's no need to search." Qiu Yilan said sincerely, "Look, the lost hairpin is this one. How could it be that they took it?"
Looking at the glass hairpin she took out from her sleeve, Qiu Hongzhi almost ran out of breath and fainted: "You actually... you actually slandered me out of thin air!"
"That's what Qiu Jinzhu and his brother asked for!" Qiu Yilan sneered, "I beat them up because of their rude words! But when did they mention you? If they could turn around, they would say it was me who attacked you. You are the instigator, why can’t I let them give me back my hairpin?”
Qiu Hongzhi shouted: "We are all one family! It's a trivial matter, a misunderstanding that can be explained clearly in a few words, why go through so much trouble?!"
"You should say this to the two of them!" Qiu Yilan's voice also rose, "Why do you ask me to compromise? Just because they are your biological brothers and sisters, and I am your cousin? You see, my father There are no mothers and concubines to bully anymore, right?”
"You are a cousin. What's wrong with an older sister giving way to her younger siblings?"
"Then as a big brother, shouldn't you give way to me? What do you mean by being so aggressive now!?"
The two brothers and sister were so noisy that they could be heard outside the Sanzhong courtyard. After a while, the servants cautiously looked down and saw Qiu Hongzhi walking away with a livid face!
"The five princesses are becoming more and more aggressive..." Everyone in the palace felt panic when they thought about the harsh treatment Qiu Yilan and Princess Ruan had received in the past. "Even the princess's confidant, maid Xiuyan, was punished. From now on, the masters in this palace will Not to mention, is there anyone among the servants who she doesn’t dare to touch?”
At about the same time, Xiuyan was dragging her injured body, kneeling in front of Princess Yang and crying: "My servant thinks that she has never offended the fifth princess. That time she was almost beaten to death by my aunt, but you saved her and sent her away again." Where did the maid go to greet someone but turned her face away? I have never seen anyone so cruel and heartless!"
Princess Yang was also very angry. Who didn't know that Xiuyan was her right-hand man, but Qiu Yilan actually took Xiuyan away and was tortured with those rough women. Wasn't this a slap in the face to her
It was just that Princess Yang pondered for a long time, and finally said: "The Queen is spoiling her now, what can I do? Fortunately, she is already thirteen, and when she has fulfilled her maternal filial piety, she will be old enough. By then, she will be sent to the Deng family to be a widow for the rest of her life." !”
Xiuyan didn't expect Princess Yang to expose it so lightly, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "But..."
"But the Queen is not used to being raised by that cheap maid!" Princess Yang glanced at Qiu Hongzhi's yard with a gloomy look, and whispered, "Call that bitch over tomorrow, and I'll ask him. How did you become a home?"
Xiuyan understood that Princess Yang was not really afraid of Qiu Yilan to the point where she did not dare to say a word after she openly humiliated her confidant maid, but she wanted to take this opportunity to deal with Qiu Hongzhi.
She reminded: "The eldest young master has already gone to find her just now."
"It's just a show." Princess Yang sneered and said, "This bitch was taught by that old guy. He is the most scheming! Maybe he had a big quarrel with that bitch in public, but in private Are you going to say nice things to her and put the blame on us?"
Xiuyan bit her lower lip: "Then...?"
"What are those two lazing around in the west yard doing these days?" Princess Yang turned the jade bracelet on her wrist and asked in a solemn tone.
"It is said that my aunt has not been feeling well these past two days and has not been out of the house. My cousin has a lot of contact with the eldest young master... Oh, today after the fifth princess sent the eldest daughter away, my cousin went to send her a message, but she was The fifth princess gave him a push and ignored him. "
Princess Yang sneered again and again: "Now the old thing is no longer alive and being an old lady! That little bitch Qiu Yilan is so cruel that he won't tolerate that bitch burying the old immortal himself. Now Kang Lizhang still wants to follow her The airs of a watch lady?"
Xiuyan understood and said: "The Kang family are just ordinary people, and they are relatively well-off in the market. In this family, the daughter is almost called 'girl', how can she be qualified to be called miss?" She lowered her voice and asked for instructions, "Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity that the eldest young master now has as a housekeeper..."
"That old thing just died." Princess Yang had long hated the Kang family and her daughter to the point of eating their flesh. She wished she could torture them to death as soon as possible. But after thinking for a moment, she shook her head and sighed, "My lord, I am so sad that I am bedridden, and now no one wants to see them... If they are touched at this point, it will inevitably anger the prince. "
Qiu Mengmin is not a fool. How could he not know about the conflict between Princess Yang, mother and daughter of the Kang family, and Qiu Hongzhi? As soon as something happens to the Kang family mother and daughter, the first person he suspects will be Princess Yang! Not to mention that taking action at this time would involve Qiu Mengmin's beloved eldest son.
"However, how can the love between brothers and sisters of a family be so deep?" Princess Yang suppressed her resentment and sneered, "Especially Qiu Yuqing is not a lovable character! I don't believe that without that The old thing is here, and after the prince is over his sadness, she can still coax him to continue to support her! "
Xiuyan muttered: "My cousin... Miss Kang is really good at coaxing people."
"Then she needs to be able to see people!" Princess Yang said disdainfully, "Wasn't her face injured? Why is she still running around? From tomorrow onwards, I will say that I sympathize with her and tell her that I only care about her all day long. Just rest in the yard! The prince is feeling sad now. She, the niece, comes to him every day, even more diligently than Mingzhu and Jinzhu. Is this because she is afraid that the prince will not be able to remember the old thing? "
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something, "Ms. Fan in front of Qiu Yuqing seems to have been one step ahead of you last time to find that little bitch... Has she been punished this time?"
Xiuyan smiled miserably: "Her legs were broken." After a pause, she said, "No one dared to call a doctor for her, and now she is left there!"
Princess Yang frowned slightly: "Was it used in that little bitch's yard?"
"Exactly."
"Qiu Yuqing didn't show up?" Princess Yang felt incredible, "She's not a smart person!"
After a second thought, I realized, "She did give birth to a good daughter!" She must have been persuaded by Kang Lizhang.
"It's a good thing that Kang Jinzhang died in the avalanche!" Thinking of how powerful this niece was, Princess Yang's face darkened. "Otherwise... Huh! It's because they, the mother and daughter, have committed so many sins, they deserve this retribution!"
"This is retribution!" Qiu Yilan talked to Su He leisurely in the yard where pear blossoms were in full bloom, "My biological grandmother died, and my grandchildren don't mourn or wear mourning. It can be said that it hinders their status and is afraid of falling behind." They were accused of disrespecting their great-grandmother! But they all had no expressions of sadness on their faces, but they were focused on scheming for the sake of Wang Jue... Tsk tsk!"
Su He hugged the little lion cat and said angrily: "You deserve it!"
"You deserve it." Qiu Yilan said with a smile, "But without them fighting like this, when will my good uncle and aunt be able to 'recover'? If they don't recover, even if they get the dowry list, they will inevitably be I don't mind talking about it! I don't care about it, but my uncle and the others may not...especially my cousin, so we must not ruin his reputation because of this!"
Su He pondered for a moment: "But now the eldest son and the seventh son are plotting against you."
"It's just a show." Qiu Yilan said with a faint smile, "Qiu Yinzhi is still young, and he listens to his aunt on everything. Qiu Hongzhi is not stupid. I rushed over there last time to force him to go to the grave with me... I already let him go. He saw clearly how eager his aunt was to destroy him! Even if I had ill intentions towards him, I still couldn't reach out to him. As his aunt, she could always deceive him. A handful! Who do you think he would like to deal with more?"
She slowly swung on the swing and sighed, "Nowadays, the whole house is full of turmoil. It seems that I started it. In fact, the real protagonist is not me!"
I'll just be the one behind the scenes - she added to herself.
